Paper Says Obama's Faith-Based Office Wil Not Show LGBT Bias

Today's Windy City Times focuses on Obama campaign's promise last July that the new Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships (see prior posting) will not fund groups that advocate for anti-gay reparative therapy. It reports that one member of the new FBNP Advisory Council is Fred Davie who is openly gay. Human Rights Campaign president Joe Solmonese said: "We expect that President Obama will abide by his commitment and ensure that federal funds are not used to discriminate against the LGBT community."
